2024 Graduation speech
Filmmaker and Creative Director, Aria Sijia Li, graduated from SIS in 2018 and was our esteemed guest speaker for graduation 2024.
During a course at Harvard Summer School Aria was introduced to screenwriting and fell in love with it. She brought that passion back to SIS and started her student-initiated film projects such as SIS Snaps that interviewed graduating seniors on their plans and showcased other stories within the school community. These early film experiences deepened Aria‘s enthusiasm and lead her to study at one of the world’s premier film schools, the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts where she graduated in 2023.

Throughout her studies, Aria took on many roles to explore writing, directing and managing the intellectual property of creative designs. She was selected to intern with the current president of the Academy, Janet Yang, and held positions at Phoenix Pictures and Outcry Films, where she was the writing and story assistant, working with the founder and Sundance award winner Jordan Melamed. These roles have provided invaluable insight into the film industry and shaped Aria‘s unique creative approach.
At graduation, Aria offered heartfelt advice to the class of 2024:
We want to thank Aria for joining us in our Class of 2024 graduation celebration and sharing advice that resonated with our graduates.

2024届SIS毕业典礼校友发表演讲现场
电影制片人兼创意总监Aria Sijia于2018年毕业于深圳市蛇口外籍人员子女学校(SIS),并担任我校 2024 届毕业典礼的主讲嘉宾。
Aria在哈佛暑期学校的课程中接触到了编剧,并对此产生了浓厚的兴趣。她将这份热情带回了SIS,并开始了她的学生自发影片项目,名为《SIS Snaps》。这个影片采访了即将毕业的学长学姐关于他们的计划,并展示了学校社区内的其他故事。这些早期的影片制作经历点燃了Aria对电影的热情,并激发了她前往世界一流的电影学院之一的南加州大学电影艺术学院(USC School of Cinematic Arts)学习的愿望。她已于2023年顺利毕业。

在整个学习过程中,Aria扮演了多重角色,涉及创意设计、编剧、导演和知识产权管理等领域。她曾被选中在南加州大学电影艺术学院现任院长Janet Yang身边实习,并在凤凰影业公司(Phoenix Pictures)和Outcry Films公司任职,担任编剧和故事助理,与创始人、Sundance奖得主Jordan Melamed共事。这些丰富的经历为Aria积累了宝贵的电影行业见解,并塑造了她独具特色的创作风格。
Aria拥有多样的技能和广泛的艺术兴趣。目前,她担任L&A集团动漫与知识产权部的首席作家兼创意总监,负责管理家族企业的这个分支机构。L&A集团是中国领先的设计公司,业务涵盖景观设计、建筑设计、城市规划、主题公园设计与运营,以及文化旅游规划等领域。该集团近期推出了不少激动人心的新项目,包括去年11月在深圳“The Siloes”推出的沉浸式剧场。
在毕业典礼上,Aria 向2024届毕业生分享了真挚的建议:
即使你没有做到尽善尽美,你也值得被爱;内卷文化并不是生活的全部。
有时,正是那些意料之外的课程点燃了你的激情。在接下来的几年里,做那些让你感兴趣和兴奋的事情,以此发现新的经历、技能和兴趣。人们对你有期望是正常的。但也要利用时间去探索。
在人生的新阶段,珍视家庭的支持,依靠家庭给予你的爱与关怀。
我们感谢Aria参加2024届毕业典礼,并与我们的毕业生分享了这些令人共鸣的建议。
